Yes, there is a recommended sealer. I believe TRF sells it. I also think
that the original TR3 shop manual mentions it. I've done many engines, never
used any at all, and never had any problem. Cleanliness is the answer.
What do you mean when you say the shop is about to press in the liners. They
should go in by hand. If they are really pressing them in, there may be a
problem.

Subject: Figure 8 gasket sealing compounds

>Sorry to bomb the list with this as I believe there was some discussion on
this recently. The machine shop is about to press in the liners into my new
block (long ugly story) and they would like to know if there is any
recommended sealing compound to go on the Figure 8 gaskets. The manual does
not suggest using any sealer, but as the shop puts it "a lot has changed
since that manual has been written". Any suggestions from those with
successful rebuilds out there? Thanks
